Nashville Christian School Filming Timeline: Audrey Hale’s 14 Minutes of Mayhem

Audrey Hale, a 28-year-old transgender artist, burst into a Nashville Christian school on Monday and killed six people, including three 9-year-old children, in a 14-minute rampage that ended with police shooting on the suspect in a common area. .
The killer had attended Covenant School, a church-linked elementary school, years ago, authorities said later, and was seeing a doctor due to an emotional disorder.
Police said the church and its ministries may have been targeted. However, the motive is unclear, and Metro Nashville Police Chief John Drake said investigators don’t believe the killer singled out any particular victim.
Surveillance video shows Hale arriving outside the building in a gray Honda Fit around 9:54 a.m. The shooting began soon after, beginning with Hale blowing a hole in a glass side door and ending when police stormed the building and dropped the shooter near a second-story window.

“At the end of this room is the scholarship room,” she continues. “They just said they heard gunshots down there and then upstairs there was a group of kids.”
A man hands him the keys to a side entrance, and the alarm sounds as he opens the door, entering with other armed officers.
“Let’s go,” says Engelbert. “I need three.”
The police begin to search the school class by class, barking tactical orders as they cover each other and go deeper into the building in search of the killer.

“Looks like it’s upstairs,” an officer can be heard saying on Engelbert’s body camera video.
The team then enters a stairwell and sprints to the second level. As they reach the top, the sound of gunfire rings out repeatedly.

Engelbert, who last week received a commendation from the Metro Nashville Police Department for his “precision policing,” is first around the corner.
He encounters the killer near a large window, from which Chief John Drake said Hale was shooting at officers who were outside the building.
He fires four shots. Hale collapses.
The officers invade the room and Collazo fires again.

“Stop moving! Stop moving!” police command. “Get your hand off the gun!”
Collazo, on his own body camera, grabs an x-ray.
“Suspect down,” he says, standing over Hale, who has collapsed near broken glass and is not moving.
The rampage left three children, all aged 9, and three adults dead.
The student victims have been identified as Hallie Scruggs, whose father is the school’s church pastor, Evelyn Dieckhaus and William Kinney.
Police identified the adult victims as school principal Katherine Koonce, 60, who sources told Fox News Digital died after confronting Hale in the hallway; substitute teacher Cynthia Peak, 61; and Hill, also 61.
